crankyoldmanDecember 7 – Community. Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011?
Well, I'm happy to be in the company of other weirdos. The first major community is the most enduring, which is the fandom community; as I add new fandoms, I seem to collect new people. And that's always fun. The other is the dreamwidth community; first online community since I was a 13 year old blindly wandering into chat rooms that I've been a part of that doesn't specifically have to do with my geeky interests. Sure they help, but it's nice to have some friends I met while just talking about my life, and not just because I happen to be wandering around with a big sword.
Ok, maybe that helps even there.
And the last community is one I'm really on the fringe of, and still feeling my way around. And that's the people of my age and general professionalness in town here. I have to admit, it's a hard community to get into. I'm not sure what to think of it entirely.
For the new year, I hope that provided I get into grad school, I can feel welcome there. I may not be the most social person around, but I have to say that my undergrad campus was always very welcoming. I hope that stays the same as a grad student.
Oh and more cosplay friends are always welcome. XD

Though I guess in my case I'm always afraid I'm going to spew crazy on them and ruin everything.
I really, really hope you feel welcome in grad school, too. :)
